From the Stacks
Featuring a different, randomly-selected book every week.
The Coffeehouse | Joan Rowell | Speculative, Horror (S) (I) (F)
Creepy short fiction inspired by campfire tales, urban legends, and things that go bump in the night. More stories to come!
Gherkin Boy and the Dollar of Destiny | Russell Nohelty | Science Fiction, Comedy | (GN) (C) ($)
An absurdist comedy graphic novel about a pickle that falls into a black hole and has to travel across the universe to get back home.
Cured: The Memoir | Sarah Fay | Memoir (B) (I) (F)
The premise of Cured is simple: We can recover from mental illness, even serious mental illness. It’s the sequel to Sarah Fay’s breakout journalistic memoir Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses (HarperCollins 2022), which was an Apple Best Books pick and hailed in The New York Times as a “fiery manifesto of a memoir.” If Pathological is Sarah’s story of mental illness; Cured is her story of mental wellness. At the same time, Cured isn’t just Sarah’s story. It weaves in the latest research and statistics on recovery, the evidence-based tools Sarah used to become well, and the history of the Recovery Movement, which has been trying to tell us that mental health recovery is possible since the 1970s. Cured is for everyone who’s been told or believes that psychiatric conditions are always lifelong. They’re not. As Cured shows, Sarah and so many others are living proof. www.curedthememoir.com
